In idmTPreg: Regression Model for Progressive Illness Death Data

Description

Converts a raw illness-death dataset to a data frame which can be passed into TPreg function.

Usage

iddata(Stime, Sind, Iltime, Ilind, covar, ...)

Arguments

Stime	the possibly censored total survival time.
Sind	the indicator of uncensored total survival time.
Iltime	the arrival time to the intermediate state, for example diseased, recurrence, or relapse time.
Ilind	the indicator of visiting intermediate state.
covar	a vector of covariates.
...	arguments to be passed to methods.

Value

iddata returns an object of class data frame, containing at least the following components:

id	identification variable
Zt	the possibly censored sojourn time in initial state
delta1	the indicator of uncensored sojourn time in initial state
Tt	the possibly censored total survival time
delta	the indicator of uncensored total survival time
covar	a vector of covariates

Examples

Stime <- c(10, 20, 34, 12, 30)
Sind <- c(1, 0, 0, 1, 1)
Iltime <- c(7, 20, 28, 12, 30)
Ilind <- c(1, 0, 1, 0, 0)
covar <- c(20, 25, 57, 36, 46)
mydata <- iddata(Stime, Sind, Iltime, Ilind, covar)
